SPRINGFIELD — People questioned the need, safety, environmental price and cost of installing a redundant natural gas line in Springfield and Longmeadow while Eversource officials assured them it was necessary, highly-regulated and the cost to ratepayers would be negligible.
Eversource held its first public hearing on its controversial proposal to build a 5.3-mile 16-inch diameter gas line in Longmeadow and Springfield in 18 months on Thursday. At least 80 people attended in person and more listened and asked questions online.
